Curious about Fraxel but unsure what the full experience looks like? At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver, we walk you through every stage—from first consultation to final results. Fraxel is more than just a treatment; it’s a tailored process designed to gradually resurface your skin, fade imperfections, and boost collagen production. In this guide, we explain how we assess candidacy, prepare your skin, perform the procedure, and support your recovery. If you're ready to invest in healthy, radiant skin, knowing what to expect makes all the difference. Contact Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver to schedule your Fraxel consultation and begin your personalized skin transformation.
Before anything begins, we start with a one-on-one consultation. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we believe your skin deserves a plan that fits, not a one-size-fits-all approach. During this appointment, we’ll review your skin history, current concerns, and goals.
We assess whether Fraxel is appropriate based on:
We’ll also explain what Fraxel can realistically achieve, how many sessions are typically needed, and what kind of downtime to expect. You’ll leave this consult with a clear understanding of the journey ahead.
About a week before your Fraxel treatment, we’ll guide you through prep steps to protect your skin and improve your outcome. These may include:
On the day of your appointment, your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied. This ensures you’re comfortable throughout the session.
Once your skin is numb, the laser handpiece is passed over the treatment area in small sections. You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation, but most patients tolerate it well. A session typically lasts 20–45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
The Fraxel laser works by creating microthermal zones deep in the skin, which prompts the body’s natural healing and collagen-building process. The surrounding intact tissue helps speed up recovery.
Immediately after your Fraxel session, your skin will feel warm and appear red, like a sunburn. In the next few days:
Rejuvenation Dermatology will provide a full post-care plan, including:
Most patients return to work or regular activities within 3–5 days. You’ll notice your skin starting to look smoother and brighter as the healing progresses.
Initial improvements may appear as soon as one week after treatment, but the most noticeable results develop over 1–3 months as collagen builds. Many clients benefit from a series of 3–5 treatments for optimal results.
Fraxel isn’t a one-time fix; it’s a strategic, science-based process designed for safe, lasting skin improvement. From your first consultation to the final stages of healing, Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver supports you every step of the way.
If you’re ready to explore Fraxel, we’re here to answer your questions and build a treatment plan that works for you. Contact Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver to book your consultation and take the next step toward refreshed, radiant skin.
Most patients heal within 3–5 days, but full collagen regeneration and visible results build over several weeks.
You can usually resume makeup 3–4 days post-treatment, once redness and flaking subside. Always follow your care plan.
Treatments are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow the skin to fully heal and benefit from collagen production. Need more information? Contact Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver today to book a consultation and find out if Fraxel is the right choice for your skin.
